Dumping the Kerberos Database

The kdb_dump utility copies the contents of the principal database to stdout or to a text file. By default, the output is displayed to a terminal via stdout.

NOTE

You must be a root user to run this program.

 

 

The general syntax for this is:

kdb_dump [-f filename]

The kdb_dump utility uses the following options:

-f filename Specifies a destination file name and path to store the output. If you do not use the -fswitch, the text is sent to stdout.

Given below is an example of using the kdb_dump:

shell% kdb_dump -f <filename>
